The macaques constitute a genus (Macaca) of gregarious Old World monkeys of the subfamily Cercopithecinae. The 23 species of macaques inhabit ranges throughout Asia, North Africa, and Europe. Macaques are principally frugivorous, although their diet also includes seeds, leaves, flowers, and tree bark. Some species such as the long-tailed macaque will supplement their diets with small amounts of meat from shellfish, insects, and small mammals. On average, a southern pig-tailed macaque in Malaysia eats about 70 large rats each year. All macaque social groups are arranged around dominant matriarchs.
Dalbergia melanoxylon in french Granadille d'Afrique is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to seasonally dry regions of Africa from Senegal east to Eritrea, to southern regions of Tanzania to Mozambique and south to the north-eastern parts of South Africa. The tree is an important timber species in its native areas; it is used in the manufacture of musical instruments, sculptures vinyago in Swahili language and fine furnitures. Populations and genomic resources for genetic biodiversity maintenance in parts of its native range are threatened by overharvesting due to poor or absent conservation planning and by the species' low germination rates.
Red colobuses are Old World monkeys of the genus Piliocolobus. It was formerly considered a subgenus within the genus Procolobus, which is now restricted to the olive colobus. They are closely related to the black-and-white colobus monkeys, and some species are often found in groups with the blue monkey. The western red colobus is frequently hunted by the common chimpanzee.

Dalbergia purpurascens is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae.
Dalbergia suaresensis is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae, and is unique because it is only found in Madagascar. The plant's conservation status is listed as "endangered", and its continued existence on this planet is threatened by habitat loss.
Machaerium villosum, the jacarandá-do-cerrado, jacarandá-pardo, jacarandá-paulista, or jacarandá-pedra, is a native tree belonging to the Fabaceae family, primarily in Brazil. These trees preferably grown on the Cerrado and Caatinga, but they can also inhabit the Atlantic Forest. They are currently vulnerable due to logging and, primarily, habitat loss for agriculture and livestock.
